I hear ya, I think people are confused with this aircraft being "equipped" opposed to "certified" for Cat II ops. It's surely equipped and if I read the tech brief correctly it has lower Cat II mins than the other aircraft at ASA. All aircraft have to be certified by the company and FAA when they are excepted. So I'm sure they'll work that out, no need to worry.

That's enough for now, since it will change again in 2010, 2011, 2012...


Oh, wait you meant the CRJ-900 regional jet, right?

Hmmm those look like CRJ 1000 FO rates since it is virtually as big as DC-9... Oh wait thats right thats a main line airplane any way (104 seats) unless some one creates an alter ego (Transtates) and creates a whole new regional using 1000


Bronco ready for BReck?

Why is it strange? FMS has nothing to do with cat II

The Mesaba CRJ900s are Cat II. Currently we are at 1600RVR and DH of 100ft. One more step to go for "full CAT II". Yes it is a lot of government red tape to get this done. We had to start out demonstrating Cat II procedures down to 1800 RVR and 200 DH for I believe it was 4 months and a minimum of 50 successful approaches. Now we are in the second phase to the lower mins with the same time frame. We are also just starting to do the same for the CRJ200s. Though I hear the Saabs will not be going CAT II.
If we install the HUD's we would be able to do the CAT III like Horizon does but I doubt we will ever get around to that.

Can't you do CAT I down to 1800 RVR with the right equipment? (Flight Director among other things?)
The CAT II should bring you down to 1200 RVR if I am not mistaken.

Right in both cases...Avroman was trying to explain the process an airline has to go through to get Cat II authorization. It's a 3 stage process, and you must successfully complete each stage before moving onto the next which allows lower mins. Ultimately 1200 rvr after final certification. All crews need specific training, aircraft need to be individually certified, and required equipment must be working in order to shoot the approach.

I was wondering that myself.....unless he means that since they spent extra money on all the bells and whistles he's surprised they didn't go all the way and spend the money on Cat 2 cert.

Everyone at ASA salivating and beating their chests over the arrival of "the nine" are lame, lame, lame. Hello, folks, IT'S STILL AN RJ! It has 6 more seats, and you get paid the SAME to fly it. GET OVER IT!
